Have you ever read the warning on boxes and labels? Some are just fine, they are there to inform us properly about the product, but some others...Some others make me think that the companies that sell us stuff believe we’re unable to think logically. So, I decided to trigger a research by myself, and here are some of the “extremely useful” warnings I found on labels and boxes. I surely couldn't have been living without them:

In a flask of dogs medicine
Beware if you drive a car or operate any machines (just imagine how dangerous can be a drugged pit bull operating any machine)

In a scooter
It moves when it works (hopefully!)

In a drier machine box
Don’t put people in here (good thing they warn me! I just wonder how they discovered it, though. Maybe they tested w/ someone)

In a precision tools box
6 precision tools pack. Should not be inserted on your penis (tell me, guys, why would a man do something like that?)

Apple site
Do not eat your iPod Shuffle (sure...chomp, chomp...it looks a lot like food...chomp, chomp...easily mistaken...chomp, chomp...hey, where's my Ipod...chomp, chomp...hey...chomp...no...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

In hair drier
Don’t use it while you are sleeping (dunno, maybe we want to save some time or something...)

Some frozen food packages
Serving suggestion: unfreeze before serving (realize: this is just a suggestion. Maybe people want to suck it like a ice cream. Who knows)

Hair cap:
For one head only (yeah, don’t even think about using it together w/ your boy/girlfriend)

Marks & Spencer pudding
Attention: pudding will be hot after heated (Oh, really? You swear?)

Rowenta iron
Don’t iron clothes that you are currently dressing (I’d like to meet the one who didn’t hearken to this. Or maybe not)

Sleeping pills package
It may cause somnolence (no, it MUST cause somnolence. I bought it exactly for this)

Xmas decoration lights
Use only in the inside or on the outside (could someone tell which is the 3rd option, please?)

Sainsbury peanuts package
Warning: it contains peanuts (WTF, you just ruined the surprise! I was hopping to find a white elephant into the package)

In a chips package
You can be the winner, and you don't even need to buy it! Details inside (so I stole it)



What about you, have you ever read anything like that? Tell me, I'd love to know!

There was a warning on a shirt label i had once that said. "Attention do not iron while wearing!" And in a safety manual for a table saw, it read, "Do not touch blade whiling spinning, it will cut your fingers off" lol. Some funny stuff.

On a label for dish soap (or any base-ic product for that matter)

Not for human consumption.

Really? I thought I was supposed to drink the bleach!

LOL...this is a funny thread. There are several items I could name with the warning labels are completely obvious. But they do it to avoid being sued.

Items that come to mind..

Ciagerettes - Warning, Smoking causes Cancer, Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, and may cause complications. < Well DUH! This is beyond obvious.

Hot Tea- Warning, hot tea! < Nooooo really!!

A Dryer- Warning! Do not insert flammable materials..may result in fire, explosion or death. < that sounds like a good idea. (sarcastically speaking)

I guess it's a good thing these warnings are there cause some people may have done exactly what NOT to do.

LOL Those you posted are also very funny. I dunno what it comes to their mind when they write it. Who the h**l would expect a hot tea not be hot or would fold a stroller w/ the baby on it or blade whiling spinning? Who?

I've seen most of what flambeau put in, but in different wording. Good stuff.

Though a little off from real warnings, these do serve to be true ....

I'm surprised Nintendo doesn't tell us not to grab our partners and swing 'round and 'round when playing the Wii... Probably tell us not to act like those people at metal concerts who try to be ninjas if we were to play on Japanese Wiis, though. If the Gameboy Light tells us not to stick tampons or MP3 players into our system(I don't know how they thought people would try that anyway... Well... Only in Japan?) why didn't they tell us weirder stuff now? Oh, and the GBA had a warning that told us not to sit on it. Haha. I wanna sit on it!

Here's a warning that never existed. The original method of plugging in Atari 5200s is a fire hazard. Wait until the next model comes out.

Another warning that should exist: Play Cybermorph while high. Sober playing is bad.

One of my favorites is from Gorilla Glue:

Warning! Gorilla Glue will stain skin and ruin clothes. (It's true too, I had a weird discolored mark on my finger for almost two weeks after using it.)


Oh the third page of an instruction manual, I think it was a saw or something:

Do not use this product if you are unable to read the instruction manual.

KlawedFlaw : Ah, but here's the thing. How would you know to not use it if you couldn't read that warning? Also, it's on the third page. Not in large bold text right in front, but inside the actual manual, just like all the rest of the instructions.

KlawedFlaw : That's what we call a bit of a paradox. How WOULD someone who can't read know figure out that part of the instructions? Although, I would think that it should have said something to the extent of, "if you can't read well" to better clarify.

I actually just found one on this old package of peanuts: "warning: contents may contain peanuts" No way really?
